What is the weight of the new Hydraulic Force Tool (HFT)?

The Hydraulic Force Tool (HFT) weighs 9 lbs, making it relatively lightweight compared to other hydraulic tools. This weight is significant as it allows firefighters and rescue personnel to maneuver the tool easily during operations. The design prioritizes portability without sacrificing the effectiveness or power of the tool, ensuring that team members can operate it efficiently while managing other equipment or navigating challenging environments. This balance of functionality and weight is crucial in emergency situations, where every second and every ounce of burden matters. Understanding the weight of the HFT helps responders choose the right equipment for their needs and optimize their workflow during rescue operations.
